Training and awareness

To raise information security awareness at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), a series of information security related seminars and events were organised to cover a number of topics about information security.  Some videos and presentation materials are published for sharing to CityU community.

The Central IT launched the Information Security Awareness Programme to raise the awareness of information protection among members of the CityU community.  The programme aims to raise the awareness of the CityU community on protecting their information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction. 

In the programme, Information Security Awareness Seminars are held regularly.  These seminars focused on information security issues such as information security best practices, challenges of implementing IS management, protecting personal data and security incident management.

The 1st seminar was jointly organized by the CityU, the PolyU and the HKU in April 2009. Below are the presentation notes and video recordings of the speakers for CityU community’s reference.
